It is evident, that Steve, the owner, takes great pride in Blink for making his staff and members feel good about themselves.

I was in town briefly for a few meetings, and I knew that I'd lose my nerve to go lift by the time I got from Beverly to Back Bay. The MBTA is an enervating, soul-sucking experience. I was fortunate enough, then, to find the BAC. This location is stylish, clean, compact, yet has a handsomely stocked weight room. I got a solid lift and a solid gym selfie, and no-one cruised me in the locker room: truly, what more does a boy want in this life?

I find them both motivating and the routines are excellent. Would love to see them add a few more morning classes and an extra Saturday class as that can get pretty crowded. There are folks of all abilities but they push you to get better, train harder and get results. The classes are about an hour and oftentimes you will have a team activity or competition. So much fun you forget you are working out.

A 45-min class works on strength, toning & balance. The space is clean & beautiful, the owner Stacey runs a great studio! As a 60+, I know how important it is to work on strength & balance- especially as we age. But I was nervous to start- I was afraid I wouldn't be able to do the classes, so I made my 2 daughters do it with me. Well, I was wrong! Every class is doable for all fitness levels- there are so many ways to make each exercise more or less challenging. I started with 1 to 2 classes per week. it was a lot for me in the beginning! But now, 3 years later, I take at least 3 classes a week. My daughters & I are all addicted! We all feel stronger & more fit! I highly recommend it!

I finally got a membership at FC CrossFit and it's been amazing already. This is the place to go whether you want to get lean and fit or big and strong. Every workout mixes strength training with cardio and the classes are so small and personalized it's almost like having a free personal trainer included in the membership - it's awesome! The best part is that it's not intimidating like some CrossFit gyms. Everyone is welcoming and encouraging and when you're new the trainers spend more time with you and help modify the workouts for you until you're ready to jump in. You never feel like an outsider, though. These guys are serious about fitness and the workouts are challenging, but the atmosphere is fun and you feel great when it's done! Definitely recommend FC Crossfit!

Someone told me recently that "Strong is the new thin." In this day and age, I think a lot of women…read morehave realized that glossy magazine skinny is an unrealistic goal. Not everyone can weigh 100 lb, and yet anyone who really wants to can become both strong and fit. What inspired me to join Crossfit was watching the transformation in people I knew who did it. One girl, after attending a competition in California, told me that she has never been so happy in her life. I see these women getting empowered, getting fit, and gaining confidence. I joined Crossfit in order to become strong. I would love to lose my belly fat. I would love to look like a model, but what I want even more is to have strength that I never had before. I want to be able to do a handstand push-up without falling on my head. I want to do a pull-up without any assistance for the first time in my life. I want to have control over my body and reach a new optimum level of fitness. Excellence knows no bounds. I believe that when I achieve physical excellence, that that same excellence will permeate all other aspects of my life. Getting serious about the condition of my body will not only provoke a higher level of performance in my work-out routine but will also carry into my work performance, my relationships, and my spirituality. It all starts with a desire - a dream to be in the best shape of your life. Once you open the door to physical transformation, who knows what else you can welcome into your life. I wanted to take my physical health seriously. That is why I have joined FCcrossfit..

With a membership here, you get access to several locations in the north shore and they're all technically your "home" location. I've only used the gym here but the equipment is TOP NOTCH! They just finished a renovation and everything is pretty much brand new. They also have a turf area and a punching bag you can use (though you can't use it if a class is going on). Not to mention, the building (including the locker rooms) is very clean. Outside of that, they have open pickleball, open swim and several leagues that go on throughout the year. Also, this location has a little cafe where you can hang out and get a drink if needed! You definitely get your bang for your buck here. If you're on the fence, go in for a tour just to see how amazing this place is!

It is a great place to do remote work. I come and do a workout. Do some remote work, then do another workout. Shower, do some more remote work and leave. If it wasn't such a long drive, I would make this, my preferred gym location.

There's a reason Lift Positive won Best Personal Training for 2020!…read more Rob, the owner, is absolutely fantastic. He really takes the time to get to know you, and creates a personalized training plan to catapult you toward your goals. As an engineer, I love how the system is structured such that your workout is quantifiable and it's easy to track progress. As a busy working human, I really feel like I'm maximizing my time and getting the best workout each hour-long session. I really like the concept of semi-personal training because let's be honest, you don't really need someone staring at you watching you do reps for 3600 seconds straight. Having a few other people there (up to 4 total per session) helps build a sense of community while still providing the attention and guidance you need. As someone who had been on and off the workout train for a bit, I've dealt with gymtimidation at a lot of other gyms, but not this one. The name rings true as this is definitely the most positive and friendly gym environment I've been in! I've never once felt judged here, not even for my weird taste in music. What I value about this personal training experience is that Rob is so encouraging, he makes you want to do better for yourself. I've hit a lot of personal records here, and I've lifted weights that I didn't think I could. At the same time, he will never make you do something that you're not comfortable with. If ever I feel like an exercise wasn't working my body quite right, Rob gives me pointers as to how to adjust the exercise to my body. He's also full of nutrition tips--a one-stop shop for holistic life advice! After just a couple weeks I feel much stronger than when I first started, and I'm equipped with new knowledge and exercises. Maybe most importantly, this experience gives me a new sense of (and appreciation for) discipline which is sure to help me maintain my forward momentum and reach my goals. Also, Rob has a dog named Rufus who hangs around sometimes and is super affectionate and fun. I probably should have just led with that.

There is a community here that I didn't know was possible to have at a gym. This place has strength training, weights, fitness classes, and some semi-private personal training. I have been super impressed with the owner, Rob. I have followed him here, after following him through multiple places he has worked at before opening up this place. Over the past 7 years, Rob has been the most dedicated trainer and human being I have ever met. From making me run with the treadmill OFF for 30sec intervals, to more Farmer's Walks than I thought were humanly possible, to getting me to the point where I could do more pull-ups than half the guys that walked by me(and yes, they were obviously unassisted). He made me realize that I was strong, and powerful, and he actually kept me motivated. I have completely fallen off my game the past 3 years, and I cannot wait to get back at it. When he opened this joint up-I RAN my butt in there...and you should too. I have limitations at the moment due to some spine stuff, but Rob is going to work with me as soon as I get restrictions from my PT's and doctors. He will meet you where you are at. If you want to go to a subpar gym and give yourself a pat on the back for going on the treadmill for 30min-be my guest-I've been that chick and it doesn't feel good. If you want to feel like you just kicked a**, then check this place out. I ASSURE YOU- you will not be disappointed.
